Description

Explore the material culture and kingship of pre-colonial South India through this scholarly work from the Royal Asiatic Society Books series. This book investigates how courtly life and palace spaces were perceived by those living within them during this historical period. Instead of using standard Western categories like public/private or male/female, the author uses indigenous descriptions found in court poetry, vastu shastra, and painted representations. This approach provides a unique look at how space was understood through local lenses. Set against the historical background of the formation of the Ramnad Kingdom, the text examines the material circumstances of the era. The study begins with the innermost regions of the palace to provide a detailed view of the environment that shaped South Indian courtly life.
